Inscribed pot-stands represented in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
On the lateral walls of the Bark Hall in the Main Sanctuary of Amun in the Temple of Hatshepsut, four stands for burning offerings are represented in front of Amun’s bark. Conservation work on the walls of this room uncovered the painted layer. One of the stands preserves traces of an inscription which was erased in ancient times in two phases. The first phase of erasure may be dated to the reign of Tuthmosis III, while the second one was executed during the Amarna period. The paper presents the legible parts of the text, which was a standard dedication formula, along with a reconstruction of the damaged areas<br/><br/>
